I tried it without the capacitor, by linking the two red wires. Nada. But all back together again I'm now getting nada. So I started to take apart the timer--there seems to be oil or grease on everything under the timer cover. Is it supposed to be like this?

Check the capacitor for the oily substance coming from it. If it overheats the seal will go bad and it will come from the top of the cap where the hookups are located. I had one a mo or so ago at a local FD. Replaced the motor and still wouldn't run grabbed the cap and it was slickery. Top of cap had came loose. To look at it though the cap looked good. New cap and the machine ran tip top.

Capacitor LOOKS good. The oil stuff is on the timer which is above the capacitor.

I found the problem!!! Now I just need someone to tell me how to fix it. Something burned out in the timer mechanism--I see black stuff where something sparked and caught fire at the end of one of the gold-colored metal thingies (vocab help?) I will post a photo

Yes , you need to " replace the whole @#$$%^76 Timer" Sounds like something got spilled onto the console perhaps and got into the timer? No other way for greasy, oily stuff to get inside that I can think of...

Oh master sleuths, I bet it is frustrating for you guys to read through all this and not be able to just put your paws on it. Anyway, I did what the guy in Eureka suggested and here's a summary: I now have a new motor, a new timer, a capacitor that has been checked and is good. I disconnected the motor from the tranny, holding it on a block on the floor with my foot it would hum when turned on to spin. THEN, I gave the pump-end shaft a twist and WHIRRRR, the motor kicked in. What the heck does this mean??? Thanks in advance

Pegi, Yipes. I forgot to mention, that is the last thing I did. Yesterday I got a new capacitor. No change in performance. RegUS, I'm thinking along those lines too...should I start testing wires or could it be switches?

... or a bad Speed Switch.. Did you try it in all the Speeds ? May have do some more voltage tests at the Motor 110.23012100 Wiring Sheet There should be: 120v Black to Yellow and depending on Speed selected: High = 120v White to White/Violet Med = 120v White to White/Orange Low = 120v White to Blue Last edited on Sat Feb 28th, 2009 11:00 pm by RegUS_PatOff ____________________ The new repair forums==> http://appliantology.org RegUS_PatOff http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPAY2LsKVEw my video production: “Easter Seals Walk With Me” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EBiLyYXMiA |

NO I didn't try it in all speeds. There are many speeds. I took off the speed control switch and all looks well though. SOOOO But I looked at some other stuff and after cleaning some connections, got it to work again. But, not trusting my luck at this point, I turned it off and on again in spin several times. The last time it stopped with a jolt and when I turned it on again, it just hummed. Now we're getting somewhere. But where?

I didn't see the rest of your msg. before the last reply. I will set the voltmeter to 250 (right?) and with the switch on and power TO the motor AT the motor I am checking these--right? M.

Ok, here's what I got (I think the speed switch is on a high setting.) BTW, my testing gizmo is a cheapo so I tested with the power off too and got 170 consistently on the Ohm setting on all these. 120v Black to Yellow---about 70 and depending on Speed selected: High = 120v White to White/Violet--30 Med = 120v White to White/Orange--70 Low = 120v White to Blue--100

So I've been playing with it and it seems the current condition is that sometimes it will spin and sometimes it won't. I have tried messing with the agitator thingy and I don't know if that affects it or not, but it seems that sometimes the agitator misses the cogs. If this were a piece of old farm equipment, I would guess that the brake is sticking. Is that possible? Farm Wahine

I think since you say it spins when you spin it manually; there is a problem with the start winding getting power to it thru the switch that plugs into the motor. This also reverses the power in the start winding to reverse spin the motor. In agitate the motor runs power down the circut to cause the motor to run in one direction.Then the power is reverse down the start winding to run the motor in reverse.The black and yellow is start winding. black coming from the centrifugul switch and yellow seems to go to timer.
